Have any of our replacements actually improved on what we had?
We have for me seen our squad decline in quality from 2013. I can't think of signing since sept 13 that has actually improved our squad

Bullock > Nu'uausala
Hamlin > Gregson
Leuluai > Smith
Escare > Tierney
Isa > Pettybourne
Clubb > Lauaki

In reply to Grimmy, our 2013 squad was a decent squad and the talent has diminished since then. It has only been masked by Shaun Wanes ability to get his players up for games.

Tuson > Hamlin

This is just nonesense. Dudson was nowhere near as good as Bullock already is and was gone well before Bullock came in. Escare did not replace Gelling who plays a completely different position. Tuson was long gone before Hamlin came.

You post makes no sense at all?

None of the players you have picked out replaced the player you have put them next to. I've already posted who they replaced. Your post makes no sense

as for Dudson being better than Bullock.....

Oh really? Where have I said that?

My point is that we have been told there will be further announcements soon. I’m prepared to be patient and see what happens rather than spout the doom and gloom that most people on here spout. All I have seen is complaints that we haven’t announced anything and then complaints that we have. The club will never ever win with some on here.

Im not saying those players directly replaced those players

I’m comparing the quality of the players from the 2013 squad with our squad now.

Escare is a utility back this season, proper position is fullback but plays utility back nonetheless. As did Gelling way back in 2013, wing and centre.

Dudson and Bullock is debatable.

We’ve been told a lot of things by the club over these past few months and everything has either been garbage or a pack of lies so yes your right they are in a no win situation.
But I’m afraid it’s all self inflicted as at the moment they can’t be trusted in anything they do or say. The connection/trust between the club and the fans is the lowest that I’ve seen and I’ve been watching them since 1979! The club have far more wrongs to right before I will don my cherry & white tinted specs again.
BTW this is not a personal attack at you Bigredwarrior

You could put Crosby in there instead of Tuson.

Either way, you and Grimmy could pick that post to pieces but the overall message is the 2013 squad had more quality than this years.
